OK, Moreno's are on!

Just so everyone knows, I have a late model 11 and after a call to Justin, we both realized I needed to follow the '12' instructions as the late model 11's were upgraded.

So, taking off the struts are no problem (I've done it a few times on this one), but before you do that, take advantage of 2 things:

1) Mark the strut to the Knuckle with a marker and
2) Using the metric bolt, screw it in to 'mark' your current setting. This will make it MUCH easier to re-install and get it right:





So, once you've followed the instructions, here is the 'black' top:



and the spring retainer you need to separate:





Lower part of the Moreno installed:





Now installed on the strut:







So to install the 'top' on the passenger's side on the late 2011, here is the spacer you'll need:



Installed!









Now, the vinyl arrows don't stick well. I adjusted them and then used super glue to 'clear coat' it to stay. I did clean the area first and then applied the arrows...

Now, I did tighten the top camber plates, but when I 'moved' the car, the left strut 'slipped' so I had to adjust again and made sure it 'settled' properly. Tighten up and off I went -- no issues!

All done!




More to come...
